Last Saturday, Samraat Club Ponda started a meaningful initiative to be conducted in housing societies. ‘Vachchan Vel’ seeks to inculcate the reading habit among people, especially children. It is to help overcome the addiction of mobiles, internet and social media.
The reading habits offers many benefits, including a significant impact on personal growth, cognitive development and emotional well-being. Books make for a desirable positive distraction in place of negative distractions. They aid better communication skills.
Cognitive benefits include an improved vocabulary, enhanced critical thinking and better memory retention. The reading habit facilitates knowledge acquisition and broadened perspectives by reading about different cultures, experiences and ideas.
Emotional and social benefits include stress reduction and enhanced empathy and understanding. Reading requires focus and concentration, which can improve these skills. It also facilitates open mindedness and creative imagination by exposure to ideas, imagination and inventions.
Of course, the reading habit can be negative if we are reading the wrong books. The best parameter to ensure you are reading right is to examine the intentions of the writer and confirm the reality by exploring books which offer alternative interpretations. It is best to read deep and wide.
The reading habit is truly fine
learn and grow with each line!
